Yes. Reno County is on our active buy list. We respond to offer requests within 48 hours and underwrite both producing and non-producing tracts.
Reno County has shallow conventional Arbuckle and Lansing-Kansas City production with a very long history. New drilling is selective and limited — most value is in the existing producing well base. Underwriting focuses on PDP cash flow from the specific lease and operator; Reno County is not a horizontal-development play.
The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) public records database is searchable by lease name, operator, or section/township/range. Pointer can pull this for any Reno County tract during underwriting. Operatorship of mature stripper-well packages changes hands frequently in Kansas, so the operator name from a 1990s division order may be out of date.
Yes — you can sell your individual undivided fractional interest without the consent or signature of other heirs to the same parcel. We will buy your fractional share; the other co-tenants keep their shares and continue to receive their pro-rata royalty checks. This is common in deeply-divided heirship situations.
Closings on Reno County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.
Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
